Tracy Edwards stunned the world in 1989 when the 26-year-old sailor set a record skippering the first all-female crew on her yacht “Maiden” to a second-place finish in the Whitbread Round the World Race… and also set the record straight that women can compete in a male-dominated sport. In an exhilarating adventure story about competition, teamwork, and resiliency, this documentary captures the grueling 32,000 mile voyage on threatening seas with dramatic cinematography. Just as riveting are the film’s interviews with Edwards and these trailblazing women thirty years later as their fresh, non-rehearsed memories of the legendary expedition bubble up to the surface with deep pride in the winning achievements that most had thought impossible.
